RECEPTACLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 2c, i915.

Application filed February 25, 1913. Serial No. 750,578.

To all whom 'it may concern.

Be it known that I, CHARLES SCrIDDER, a citizen of the United States of America, and a resident of the city of Seattle, in the county of King and State of Washington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Receptacles, of which the following 'is a specification.

My invention has for one of its objects the provision of a durable, and impro-ved structure of the abovel type which.is com the same being designed primarily for carrying or preserving articles or commodities against injury due to action of the external temperature. A further object resides in the provision of a receptacle body having supplemental wall sections.

Further, the invention has for its object to provide a receptacle body structure wherein the walls' are joinedand equipped with flanges for movement .in a novel manner during the setting up thereof.

With the above and other objects in view to be referred to vas my description progresses, my invention resides in the features of construction, arrangements and combinations of parts hereinafter described and succinctly defined in my annexed claims.

Referring to the accompanying drawings illustrating a preferred embodiment of my invention and wherein like characters of lreference indicate ylike parts throughout: Figure 1 is a plan of the blank for the body of thereceptacle. Fig. 2 is a plan of the blank illustratingthe same folded centrally in a transverse direction and the adjacent edges adhesively joined as in the initialstep in the setting up of the receptacle. Fig. 3 is a fragmentary perspective of one end poi'- tion of the receptacle body prior to the formation of theanges thereof. Fig. 4 is a fragmentary perspective of one corner portion of the receptacle body partly folded. Fig. 5 is a perspective of one end portion of the receptacle body with the ianges set up, a portion of the closure being broken away. Fig. 6 is a perspective showing the closure partly folded. Fig. 7 is a perspective of the receptacle body; completely folded and the `'end closures thereof in closed position, a portion of the body being removed. Fig. 8 is a llongitudinal sectionof the receptacle comof Fig. 8. Fig. 10 is a fragmentary perspective of one of the supplemental wall sections. Fig. 11 is a plan of a blank for an outer or inclosing case' which may be utilized. Figs. 12, 13 and v14 are perspectives of one end portion of the receptacle illustrating successive steps in the folding of the case, and Fig. 15 is a perspective of the receptacle inclosed in the case.

Referring to the drawings by characters of reference, l indicates the chamber' of the receptacle body, 2, 2, the side walls, 3 foldable side edge flanges of said walls and 4 and 5 end edge flanges joined to walls 2, 2

respectively.

Reference numeral 6 indicates foldable closures joined to end anges 4 and 5 for folding thereon and comprising outer sections 16 and inner sections 16', the latter being foldable upon themselves, as will be hereinafter set forth. These side flanges 3 which act both as reinforcements and as retaining members for supplemental wall sections, as 7 and 8 are parallel with the adjacent walls 2 and at right angles to walls 2. Therefore side walls 2 are bounded on all sides by flanges projecting from the faces L thereof and formin seats for snug reception of the supplemental wall sections 7.

The other supplemental wall sections 8 are snugly arranged between the flanges 5 of walls 2 and are of greater width than sections 7 so as to extend over and seat on flanges 3. Flanges 5 have their end portions overlapped by flanges 4 and connected thereto by walls 9.

Reference numeral 100 indicates a blank of paper orother suitable material from which the receptaclebody is formed. This is provided with longitudinal score lines or lines of fold 10, 10 and transverse lines of fold 11, all of which extend entirely across the blank.

Between lines 10, 1l occur the side walls 2, 2 and flange sections 3, 3, the former of which are bounded on one side by lines of fold 11 extending between lines 10, while therewith pockets or the latter comprise integral side extensions of walls 2 and are of a widthcorresponding to that of the sections 3 as indicated by broken lines X in Ei'gfl.

Reference numeral 20 indicates an edge flap which, in practice is adhesively secured to the ange section 3 occurring at the op;

` the adjacent score line 11 through the point lof intersection oflines 11, deining in posite edge of the blank, the blank beingconjunction with lines 10, 11 the walls 9, and thence continuing on to the edge of the blank, to divide the closure sections 16 as shown. Closure sections 16, 16 which occur along 'the longitudinal edge portions of the blank are bounded by lines 10 and 11.

After the blank has been folded upon itself and dap 20 secured as hereinbefore set forth, the body is opened to the position shown in Fig. 3, being folded onlines 11. Next, the blank is folded on lines 11', 10, during which flanges 4, 5 will fold outwardly on lines 10. In this connection it will be observed that through the peculiar connection of flanges 5 with flanges 4, walls 2 will be forced toward one another, as the flanges are moved lto their normal position.

The closures 6 are folded, in the following manner: Wall sections 16 break inlwardly on lines of fold 10 and draw closed the external wall lsections 16, following which an adhesive seal, as 30, can be applied over the meeting edges of the latter.

Supplemental wall sections 7 and 8, as shown, are hollow, consisting of an envelop of paper or other suitable material having closure flaps 40' and adapted to contain a suitablelling, as for example, a poor conductor of heat, see Figs. 8, 9 and 10. i A convenient method of securing supplemental wall sections 7 and 8 consists in providing a wrapper 41 which is passed tightly around the body and then has its end portions ov/erlapped and united, as by adhesive material.

have illustrated another form of wrapper in Figs. 11 to-15 inclusive, this consisting of a case 50 of paper or the-like which snugly-receives the'body of the receptacle and its supplemental side walls. The end portions of this case are provided with. closures comprising wall sections 51, 52, the former of which are dat and normally overlapped by the latter, which are foldable upon themselves. -The blank 53 from which case 50 is formed, when passed around the receptacle body will be folded on the transverse lines 58. These lines which entend from edge to edge ofthe blank are intersected by lines 51 to provide the closure wall sections 51, 52. Sections 52 are providedwith diagonal fold lines 52", these extending After the blank has been passed around the 'receptacle body and'its overlapping end por- Ltions sealed together, the closures are folded on lines 51', the sections 51 swinging into the free edges of the sections.

intanto wardly to their horizontal and overlapping or closed position while the sections 52 swing outwardly on their lines 51 and simultaneously fold uponY themselves or their lines of fold 52. Following this the folded sections 52 are folded inwardly upon sections 51 and then secured, as by being adhesively secured to the sections 51.

` f Reference numeral 60 indicates removable hollow plugs which can be inserted into chamber 1 if desired, these being adapted to contain material of like character to that forming the i'illing of supplemental wall sections.

rlhe commodity, as for example, ice cream or water. ices, can be placed `directly in chamber 1 between plugs 60 either in wrapped or unwrapped condition.

Prior to applying either case 50 or wrapper 41, supplemental wall sections 7 and 8 are preferably secured against accidental displacement by adhesive strips 70, these overlapping the meeting edges of the wall section, as clearly shown in Figs. 8, 9 and 12 to 14 inclusive.

Having thus described myv invention,y

what lclaim as new', and desire to secure by Letters Patent of the United States of America, is
